Kiss me tender Chapter 137 Fannie's Condition

Mrs. Fannie slowly walked downstairs. Her black high-heeled shoes made a crisp sound when stepping
on the old stone steps. It was as natural as she was now, ignoring the awkwardness of the three people
in the courtyard.

The cold faced secretary followed Mrs. Fannie and didn't stop until she saw Mrs. Fannie stop.

After looking them up and down with her sunglasses, Mrs. Fannie finally caught a glimpse of Colin. She
said, "Someone told me that if I didn't show up now, it would cause a sensation tomorrow. So I came to
see it personally."

Melissa thought for a while and realized that Mrs. Fannie had sent people to keep an eye on her? Or
should Fannie have them keep an eye on Colin? Otherwise, why did she come her so soon? Melissa
was not happy with being monitored, but she didn't say anything since that person was Mrs. Fannie.

On the other hand, Colin didn't seem happy. With a cold smile, he asked, "do you want to get in my
business again?"

Mrs. Fannie still stared at Colin, looking high above them, and said in a faint voice as if she was the
queen, "I don't want to get involved in your business, but I won't allow anyone to offend my rights,
including you. Even if you are my son, if you dare to disobey my orders, I will not spare you!"

Listening to their conversation, Melissa couldn't understand the mother and son's personality. They
were cold, emotionless and only interested in money? Or perhaps in the eyes of Mrs. Fannie, there
was no kinship, only endless power and interests. In order to fight for the property of Ling family, she
would not care about how her son would feel.

But clearly, Colin wasn't scared of Fannie. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "do you think I'll be
at your disposal? Fannie, I haven't begged you to do one thing since I moved out of the house at the
age of 22. We will not interfere with each other. It's your business if you want to fight for the property of



Gilbert, which has nothing to do with me. Don't force me to do something I don't want, or else I won't
even let you to be my mother. I will do whatever I said. Anyway, you don't like me, and I don't like your
either. At that time, we will not admit each other. I won't lose anything, but you will suffer great losses."

At first, Melissa thought that Mrs. Fannie just spoke coldly and maliciously. But Colin was even colder
and more vicious than Mrs. Fannie. Born into a well family, she couldn't understand how Colin's family
treated him, and how they schemed against each other even if they were mother and son, let alone
how they treated outsiders.

Colin was raised up in such a family. No wonder he was so rebellious and hated his mother so much.
Was everyone from a big family like this? It was said that they only cared about their own interests and
didn't care about anything else? Melissa shook her head. She couldn't take it.

Standing next to her, Eric watched the conflicts between Mrs. Fannie and Colin silently. Judging from
Eric's grave look, he probably didn't agree with the way Ling family got along with each other.

Hearing that, Mrs. Fannie wasn't scared. She just smiled and raised her right hand. The secretary
nodded immediately, found a comfortable chair and moved it to Mrs. Fannie.

Mrs. Fannie's action was quite elegant and well mannered. Anyone who saw her would not think that in
the past her parents were laid off works, and she didn't go to college, instead, she went in to show
business. At last she was even in a porn movie, but she still was nobody. Fannie flied to the top of the
tree and became a phoenix. After thirty years of cooling down, her vulgar temperament would be
replaced by luxury life, and she turned herself into a queen and lived a luxury and dissipation life.

After sitting down, she finally took off her sunglasses and handed it to the secretary. With a faint smile,
she stated, "you know the rules of the Ling family. Your father values a large number of children, so
many people are fighting with each other for this property. Now, I just let you get married and have
children. I will inherit the large fortune for you as soon as I finish the rest of the work. Moreover, you just



have to marry Miss Linn who is from a famous family and has returned from America. Now she is
engaged in art, beautiful and elegant. Many people want to marry her, but you are so lucky to be her
husband. Aren't you willing to do this?"

"Fighting for property has always been your idea. I never showed any interest in it. You can't only treat
me as a chip!" Snapped Colin with a sneer.

Now, it was Mrs. Fannie who showed her indifferent attitude, and said, "Do you think that you have
earned all the money by yourself to live your noble life? Well, even if you run a company yourself,
you're still nothing without the support of Ling family. No one in the entertainment circle will respect you.
Living under the protection of Ling family, you are so unrestrained now. Have you forgotten that you are
a member of Ling family? Let me tell you, if I fall down, you will be immediately punished by the other
three madams and their children, and will never have a chance to rise again."

Colin sneered, "You're the one to be stepped on. You've done so many bad things. They hate you,
don't they? I have nothing to do with you for many years. Besides, I have a career now. Even without
the protection of Ling family, it won't be easy for others to lay a finger on me. Moreover, the three wives
know that I hate you. To some extent, I am on the same side with them."

"You are too naive."

I'm not naive. But I'm a man of principle. I can protect myself. But for you, I can't care so much. Do you
think your only son will be a fool?"

Finally, Mrs. Fannie stopped talking. She glanced at Melissa, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on
her face. That smile made Melissa flustered. Then Mrs. Fannie turned to Colin and said, "It seems that
you like her. You even set yourself against me for her."

Melissa didn't understand what Mrs. Fannie meant. They had been quarreling, and it was none of her
business. So she just looked at Mrs. Fannie nervously.



With a sneer, Colin said, "it's none of your business that whether I like her or not."

"Do you love her?" Mrs. Fannie said slowly, "I'm talking about Melissa. Do you love her?"

Melissa got more panic as if she saw a poisonous snake approaching her. She knew how Mrs. Fannie
would deal with her. Mrs. Fannie would do anything to achieve her goal. Mrs. Fannie had worked so
hard to force Colin to get married. If Colin refused to marry Miss Linn because he loved her, Melissa
could imagine how Mrs. Fannie would deal with her!

Colin glanced at Melissa, and then said scornfully, "do you think that I need to love all the women I've
ever played with?"

Hearing that, Melissa didn't know how she felt, she felt relieved but at the same time, she felt a sense
of loss. Colin was indeed as cold as before!

Mrs. Fannie suddenly smiled, full of scheme. She said slowly, "it seems that you still love Avril, then
let's make a deal."

Colin sneered, "Do you have anything to make a deal with me? You can't even protect yourself now,
can you?"

"What if I tell you that my condition would interest you?"

Colin looked at her in doubt, wondering what else she would bring to him. Until Mrs. Fannie slowly took
out a crystal pendant and lifted it to him, Colin immediately shouted in surprise, "Avril!"

Seeing that Colin was about to come over, Mrs. Fannie immediately took away the pendant. Colin had
to stop, but he asked her vigilantly, "why do you have the pendant of Avril? Where is her body?"



Mrs. Fannie smiled and said lightly, "Well, have you seen something that makes you tempted? I know
where her cremains are and... " After looking down at the necklace, Mrs. Fannie said, "I also collected
the diary and many other letters of Avril. Do you want to know what happened to her in the year you left
her? What kind of feeling did Avril have for you? I know you have a grudge against the past and always
want to explore the past. How about I take your past experience as a condition in exchange for your
marriage? As long as you are willing to go back and marry Miss Linn and have a son in this year, I will
tell you everything about Avril immediately!"

Colin seemed very excited to hear that, or he had been really excited about Avril's news. He shouted at
Mrs. Fannie, "What have you done, bitch? Do you think I didn't notice what you had done to Avril that
year? What did you do to Avril?"

Hearing that, Melissa frowned. She couldn't figure it out. If she remembered correctly, on the day of
every year of Avril's sacrifice, Colin would go to her cemetery and visit her. But Fannie said the ashes
of Avril was hidden. Was the cemetery that Colin referred to was an empty cemetery, and there was no
Avril's ashes at all? Then why did Mrs. Fannie hide Avril's ashes? Why did Colin disappear for a year?
Why? What happened to Avril that year so that Colin cared about it very much? What did Mrs. Fannie
do?

Mrs. Fannie did not seem to care about her son's threat, nor did she feel sad. She just smiled lightly
and said, "My condition is very clear. As long as you go back and get married and have your own child,
I tell you everything about Avril. You are very smart and you should know that I just want a grandson.
As for whether you treat Miss Linn well after you get married, I don't care. As long as I achieve my
wish. You just need to marry Miss Linn and have your own child. I won't intervene in your life from now
on. You can play with as many women as you like and you can play with whoever you like. Isn't this a
good idea?"

How heartless Mrs. Fannie was! She didn't have mother and son's kinship with Colin. They were just
using each other's for power and interests.



Hearing that, Colin seemed to be very angry, with his face turning red. Perhaps it was because the
things about Avril that made him very unhappy. Besides, after his leaving that year, what happened
after that was also what he wanted to know most. Now, how could he be willing to be threatened by his
mother by this matter?
